Photo Tricks

Photography can be a fascinating subject to study. Since you're reading this article, you may agree with that statement. One such subject is air brushing. We have all heard of air brushing. It seems to be used a lot on celebrity photos to make it look as if they are skinnier than they really are, have fewer imperfections in the face such as acne or even to place something in the photo that was not there when the picture was taken. Objects that were in the scene when the picture was taken can be completely removed with this technology. Have you ever wondered how this works?
                 

How does air brushing work? After the picture has been taken and has been developed, the photographer may see some imperfection in the picture. To correct it without having to take the picture again, editing can be done on the finished photograph. This can be done with computer software. We have all heard of Photoshop by Adobe. This software has made it into the lexicon of American English and people make statements such as, "This picture has been Photoshopped!" implying that it has been doctored. Any amateur can do this as Photoshop has been created for the PCs of amateur photographers as well as by professionals.
Air brushing is a practice that professional photographers are discouraged from engaging in; if you plan to sell your pictures you may not want to take advantage of this technology to retain the integrity of your work. If you are not selling your picture and you would like to improve the quality of it, feel free to partake in Photoshop software, but you may want to be honest with people and confess that Photoshop was used.
Some pictures have intentional blurring in them. As mentioned above, blurring can be achieved by taking a picture of a moving object with a slower film speed. This may not be easy for amateur photographers to apply the right amount of blurring to a picture with aperture and shutter speed. In that case, photographers can use bokeh. This technique will add a little fuzziness to your objects without rendering the object unrecognizable. The point of bokeh is to take an object with sharp edges and soften them by creating a fuzzier image. With bokeh, your pictures can be made to look "artsier" than if you left sharp angles in the photograph.
